Kidneys24
  • The quantity of glomerular filtrate produced each minute by all nephrons in both kidneys is referred to as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). (medscape.com)
  • Any edema or 'water holding', whether in lungs, arms, or abdomen, also requires strengthening of kidneys with kidney cleansing. (curezone.org)
  • 24 hours a day, your two kidneys filter your blood somewhat like an aquarium filter filters the water in a fish tank. (doctoryourself.com)
  • The kidneys maintain homeostasis by controlling the amount of water and electrolytes in the blood. (uwaterloo.ca)
  • In healthy adults, each of o ur kidneys contains an average of 1.5 million nephrons, the basic functional units of the kidney that constantly filter waste products from the blood. (ibecbarcelona.eu)
  • Relating this back to the kidneys, they perform these jobs (for example, the reabsorption of products as I mentioned above) by regulating acid-base balance, electrolytes and water. (studymode.com)
